The average user spent 36 seconds more than usual on Google.com on Friday.

· Google Pac-Man consumed 4,819,352 hours of time.

· Lost productivity totaled $120,483,800, assuming the average Google user has a cost of $25/hour.

· That $120 million is enough to pay all 19,835 Google employees for 6 weeks.

That assumes that the time spent on Google came from work time, rather than other goofing-off time.

Especially on a Friday, I'm pretty sure that's an unreasonable assumption. [Wink]

Bad reasoning there. How much actual work can you complete in 36 seconds, even if it is on work time?

Just dont drink a whole bottle at once, or you wont complete anything ever again.
